Download or read book Early Sixteenth Century Printed Books 1501 1540 in the Library of the Leuven Faculty of Theology written by Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven (1970- ). Faculteit der Godgeleerdheid. Bibliotheek and published by Peeters Pub & Booksellers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a research centre for the theological faculty, the library, of course, contains an extensive collection of modern and new works on theology and related disciplines, and evolves with the electronic innovations introduced into modern libraries. In addition, however, the library has a very valuable segment consisting of a collection of ca. 160,000 older printings from the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. In 1994, to mark the occasion of the library's twentieth anniversary, Frans Gistelinck and Maurits Sabbe edited a catalogue of the post-incunabula present in this collection under the title Early Sixteenth Century Printed Books 1501-1540 in the Library of the Leuven Faculty of Theology (Documenta Libraria 15, published by the Theology Library and Peeters). The catalogue included 953 titles, mainly from the Jesuit collection and the library of the Archdiocese of mechelen, and further, among others, from the Franciscan Friars Minor in Vaalbeek (Leuven). This beautifully illustrated catalogue included various studies on the origin and content of the collection. Today, ten years later, this collection of post-incunabula has again grown from the addition of copies from libraries acquired later and from purchases. The library's thirtieth anniversary seemed to us to be a suitable occasion to publish a Supplement to the catalogue.

Download or read book The Reformation of the Bible written by Professor Jaroslav Pelikan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is equally true that the Reformation was inspired and defined by the Bible and that the Bible was reshaped by the intellectual, political, and cultural forces of the Reformation. In this book, a distinguished scholar--whose contributions to the field of religious studies have won him wide renown--explores this relationship, examining both the role of the Bible in the Reformation and the effect of the Reformation on the text of the Bible, Biblical studies, preaching and exegesis, and European culture in general. Jaroslav Pelikan begins by discussing the philological foundations of the "reformation" of the Biblical text, focusing on the revival of Greek and Hebrew language study and the important contributions to textual criticism by humanist scholars. He then examines the changing patterns of interpretation and communication of the Biblical text, the proliferation of vernacular versions of scripture and their impact on various national cultures, and the impact of the Reformation Bible on art, music, and literature of the period. The book is richly illustrated with examples of early printed editions of Bibles, commentaries, sermons, vernacular translations, and other works with Biblical themes, all of which are identified and discussed. The book serves as the catalog for a major exhibition of early Bibles and Reformation texts that has been organized at Bridwell Library, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, and will also be shown at the Yale Center for British Art, the Houghton Library and the Widener Library at Harvard University, and the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University.

This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a detailed description of all books, published in the Dutch Republic and its Generality Lands between 1567 and 1773 – the year in which the Society of Jesus was suppressed by Pope Clement XIV for political reasons –, written by Jesuits from the Low Countries and elsewhere. Locations of the books are given, as far as possible, as well as bibliographical sources. Many of these publications are pirate editions, mainly from France and Germany. Technical and historical introductions precede this bibliography, and several indexes and registers conclude this work.

Download or read book Printing and Prophecy written by Jonathan Green and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 examines prognostic traditions and late medieval prophetic texts in the first century of printing and their effect on the new medium of print. The many prophetic and prognostic works that followed Europe's earliest known printed book---not the Gutenberg Bible, but the Sibyl's Prophecy, printed by Gutenberg two years earlier and known today only from a single page---over the next century were perennial best sellers for many printers, and they provide the modern observer with a unique way to study the history and inner workings of the print medium. The very popularity of these works, often published as affordable booklets, raised fears of social unrest. Printers therefore had to meet customer demand while at the same time channeling readers' reactions along approved paths. Authors were packaged---and packaged themselves---in word and image to respond to the tension, while leading figures of early modern culture such as Paracelsus, Martin Luther, and Sebastian Brant used printed prophecies for their own purposes in a rapidly changing society. Based on a wide reading of many sources, Printing and Prophecy contributes to the study of early modern literature, including how print changed the relationship among authors, readers, and texts. The prophetic and astrological texts the book examines document changes in early modern society that are particularly relevant to German studies and are key texts for understanding the development of science, religion, and popular culture in the early modern period. By combining the methods of cultural studies and book history, this volume brings a new perspective to the study of Gutenberg and later printers.

Download or read book Leuven University Library 1425 2000 written by Chris Coppens and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Library reflects not only six centuries of University history, but also many chapters of European history and even world history in the last century. A president of the United States played a leading role, and a Japanese emperor also figures in it. The Library, built with American funds, was conceived as an American memorial to the Great War of 1914-1918. All this means the Library is not merely another university building. The past has imbued it with the higher values that survive human conflict. The University Library has been in full development since 1970. With its historic collection, the Maurits Sabbe Library is a living research centre for matters of religion and theology. The Arenberg Campus Library, a science library housed in a sixteenth-century monastery, combines technology and heritage. The various branch libraries range from law and philosophy to medicine, from ancient colleges in the heart of Leuven to the university hospital on the edge of the town.
Download or read book The Library of a Jesuit Community at Holbeck Nottinghamshire 1679 written by Hendrik Dijkgraaf and published by Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS). This book was released on 2003 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Holbeck catalogue is apparently the only recorded 17th-century Jesuit missionary library. There are of course several catalogues of Jesuit institutional libraries in France, Germany and elsewhere, but these are libraries solely for the clergy, and in some cases these libraries lost their Jesuit identity through being swamped by large gifts from outside sources. The Holbeck library, on the other hand, was just large enough to be a working tool, and compact enough to have a recognizable identity. Dr Dijkgraaf has supplied a comprehensive account of the library and its context and thanks to his elaborate analysis of the contents, we are able to rationalize and justify the presence of each and every book on the shelves."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Apocalyptic Cartography written by Chet Van Duzer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Apocalyptic Cartography: Thematic Maps and the End of the World in a Fifteenth-Century Manuscript, Chet Van Duzer and Ilya Dines analyse Huntington Library HM 83, an unstudied manuscript produced in Lübeck, Germany. The manuscript contains a rich collection of world maps produced by an anonymous but strikingly original cartographer. These include one of the earliest programs of thematic maps, and a remarkable series of maps that illustrate the transformations that the world was supposed to undergo during the Apocalypse. The authors supply detailed discussion of the maps and transcriptions and translations of the Latin texts that explain the maps. Copies of the maps in a fifteenth-century manuscript in Wolfenbüttel prove that this unusual work did circulate. A brief article about this book on the website of National Geographic can be found here.
